Flirtinis with Flappers

Unless Dora Duncan can stop it, it's going to be another St. Valentine's Day Massacre. A year ago, her (now ex) boyfriend Nick stood her up on the most romantic day of the year at the worst possible moment. In the aftermath, Dora gave up her career TV reporting on real news, and took a fluffier job reporting on such important stories as "Too Stressed for Sex." And though such clips have a certain relevance, things in Dora's life have been a whole lot quieter. Maybe too quiet. Until now. Now Dora's suddenly being drafted for a very special assignment: she's gotta go back in time to stop that very same Nick from making a mess of history. Dora's first reaction?

Oddjobs

It’s the end of the world as we know it, but someone still needs to do the paperwork. Incomprehensible horrors from beyond are going to devour our world but that’s no excuse to get all emotional about it. Morag Murray works for the secret government organisation responsible for making sure the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible. In her first week on the job, Morag has to hunt down a man-eating starfish, solve a supernatural murder and, if she’s got time, prevent her own inevitable death. The first book in a new comedy series by the creators of ‘Clovenhoof’, Oddjobs is a sideswipe at the world of work and a fantastical adventure featuring amphibian wannabe gangstas, mad old cat ladies, ancient gods, apocalyptic scrabble, fish porn, telepathic curry and, possibly, the end of the world before the weekend. **From the Inside Flap"There are beings, the Venislarn. They are invading our world - have already invaded our world. They will destroy us all. Every living thing on our planet will die in agony.""That's ridiculous.""But true. I work for a government agency - one of many around the world - tasked with managing the Venislarn threat.""You're fighting them.""No. Do pay attention. They will destroy us. This is cold concrete fact.""But?" "Yes, it is the end of the world. Yes, we are all going to die. But we are British.
